Here's what you'll do to make your own felt frog tissue holder

Begin by measuring your green felt and cutting to size by wrapping around your tissue package.

Now thread your embroidery needle and stitch your frog's nose and mouth into place. Then cut your four eye pieces (2 black and 2 white) and stitch the black inner eye to the outer eye and stitch the entire piece to the green felt.

Fold the green felt over the tissue package to confirm size.

Take out tissue package and pin then sew.

Finish edges with pinking shears if desired.
